Camera and Sonar Orders for ROV Fleet09/04/2010 |
| Kongsberg Maritime has received orders from Fugro for an extensive suite of cameras and scanning sonar as part of its Global 2010 ROV sensor refurbishment and newbuild programme. The orders include more than 140 high-performance Kongsberg Maritime underwater navigation and inspection video cameras, numerous lamps and over 35 Kongsberg Mesotech obstacle avoidance scanning sonar. Further orders are also expected for the newbuild programme. |

As well as the latest versions of the industry's most widely used low-light navigation and high-resolution colour zoom cameras, Kongsberg Maritime will be supplying over 20 of its new low-light OE13-124/5 BIT navigation cameras and 6 ultra high-resolution imaging sonar.
The new cameras and sonar will be fitted to Fugro's existing Global fleet of Work Class, Intermediate Class and Observation Class ROV, whilst the equipment for the newbuild fleet will be installed on the Fugro FCV 3000 and new FCV 2000 Work Class ROV Systems, which are built in-house in Singapore. The sensors will provide accurate navigation and inspection imaging support for a broad range of applications, including: construction support, inspection, repair and maintenance, pipeline and seabed survey and drill rig support. The orders follow on from a long relationship between the two organisations and the continued reliable performance of Kongsberg Maritime's underwater imaging equipment throughout Fugro's demanding global ROV operations.

Hydrographic Survey of Riverbed Erosion |
Members of the US Geological Survey were filmed while out on the Missouri River at Williston, North Dakota, USA, performing a hydrographic survey to monitor the state of riverbed erosion. They were using a multibeam echo sounder which transmits sound energy and analyses the return signal (echo) that has bounced off the riverbed or other objects. Multibeam sonars emit sound waves from directly beneath a ship's hull to produce fan-shaped coverage of the riverbed.
